Bathy 2010 Zoom ModesBathy 2010 Zoom Modes• Normal Mode: This mode displays the normal bottom data by itself without any

zoom information. When selected, this mode will use the entire viewing area.

Bottom ZoomBottom Zoom

• Bottom Zoom

• When selected, this mode will split the viewing area in half (as shown on next slide). The left side will be used to show zoom information, and the right side for normal bottom data. Bottom Zoom mode centers the zoom display around the current depth allowing you to follow it up and down the water column at a high resolution. In addition, the user can use the Zoom Range Control to zoom in or out. The Zoom Range value represents the zoom range in whichever units are currently selected. When the zoom window moves up or down to track the bottom, it does so in Zoom Range / 2 increments.

Bottom Lock ZoomBottom Lock Zoom• Bottom Lock Zoom: This mode functions the same way as

Bottom Zoom, however it does not show the bottom moving through the water column. Instead, it will lock the bottom to the upper portion of the zoom view so that the user may continuously monitor sub-bottom information.

Marker ZoomMarker Zoom

• Marker Zoom provides a high-resolution zoomed view of the water column, however in this mode, the user can specify where in the water column the zoom range will begin. This is accomplished by dragging the marker zoom bar up or down the normal view scale bar to the point you want the zoom range to begin. The start of the zoom range can be observed at the top of the zoom window while you drag the marker zoom bar, but the marker zoom isn’t set until the mouse button is released.
